French PM François Bayrou splits controversial euthanasia bill into two, facing criticism over motives.

François Bayrou, the French Prime Minister, has faced criticism from his party and opponents after deciding to split an end-of-life bill into two separate acts. The original bill, which aimed to legalize euthanasia for those with incurable illnesses and unbearable pain, was seen as too extreme. Critics, including those questioning Bayrou's Catholic beliefs, argue the split reflects his personal convictions. The new bills will focus separately on palliative care and active assistance in dying.
